A member who recently had a discouraging conversation with a friend about Catholicism, another member trying to balance caregiving and their pursuit of the Catholic Faith, and all our members who just started OCIA classes — these are just a few of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
